The Broke Room

My break room sucks.

It started on May 16th, the same day that I emailed Facilities about the bug in the sugar. In that same email, I noted that our water dispenser was not working properly. It was replaced with an even crappier water dispenser, and apparently the water supply was never properly re-attached to one of the two adjacent coffee machines. I emailed Facilities about that, too, but never got a response. I figured I'd pestered them enough, so I just let it go. I guess someone finally complained about the coffee machine being broken for two months, because it was serviced last week.

This morning, I came in to find that the water dispenser was out of order. I was actually kind of happy about it because it meant we'd probably get a hopefully less crappy one instead. As the day progressed, I started hearing more and more grumblings about things going wrong in the break room, so I went in to investigate.

Here's what I found:



The water dispenser, both coffee machines, the vending machine, and the soda machine have all gone on strike. Basically, the only things that work are the refrigerator and the microwave. 


As one co-worked quipped, "they should just call it 'The Broke Room'." Cue sad trombone.
